The Chevrolet Bolt is back, and it’s charging into the EV scene with a bang — though strictly as a limited-run affair. After a bit of a break, General Motors is bringing the much-loved electric hatchback back to life following fans’ calls for its return. The 2027 Chevrolet Bolt is said to offer affordable, best-in-class technology and usable performance, with a price starting below $30,000.
A Short-Lived Comeback
It’s no ordinary launch, the return of the Chevrolet Bolt. GM has said that it will produce the car in small quantities, with only one assembly line running at its Fairfax plant in Kansas City, Kan. But one thing’s for sure – with the quantity murmured to be in low numbers (how much exactly we don’t know), there will be no dawdling on this one. Deliveries are due to start in January 2026, so for buyers wanting an affordable EV with modern tech, this limited run could be a rare opportunity.
“We acted quickly to keep the nameplate after we heard from fans when production of it ended,” a Chevrolet spokesman said in an email. Suppose the Chevrolet Equinox EV is anything like the Bolt EV. In that case, it is to be expected that the latter will continue to play a significant role in Chevrolet’s push for affordable electric vehicles.
Pricing and Trim Options
The 2027 Chevrolet Bolt goes on sale with the LT Comfort Package for $29,990; a sportier RS trim starts at $32,995. For the tech-hungry, the RS with Tech and Sunroof Package will start at $35,685. Also coming later in the year, at $28,995, will be an LT variant that represents the least-expensive long-range EV in the U.S. market.
Power, Performance, and Range
Under the hood lies GM’s X76 electric drive unit, which incorporates a permanent-magnet motor designed for efficiency. The 65 kWh lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery achieves an estimated 255 miles of range per charge. Maximum DC fast-charging rates are now 150 kW, allowing the battery to jump from 10% to 80% in about 26 minutes—a substantial leap compared with previous generations.
Front-wheel drive is still standard; however, the new 2027 Chevrolet Bolt EV is far from a mere reissue. More than 50% of it is new or re-engineered, right down to its electrical architecture, drivetrain, and cabin features. GM currently sources such batteries from overseas, but is gradually increasing domestic production with LG Energy Solution.
Advanced Features and Technology
Technology is oozing out of the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt at every level. The model features:
- Super Cruise hands-free with greater range
- Built-in NACS charging port for access to public chargers.
- 11.3-inch infotainment screen and 11-inch driver display
- More than 20 standard active safety and driver-assist technologies, such as Intersection Collision Mitigation and Rear Automatic Braking
- Bi-Directional V2H, Wireless Charging, and Multiple USB-C Ports
- Entertainment is also a priority. Drivers can stream apps such as HBO Max, Prime Video, and Tubi, while Google Maps is integrated with Super Cruise for safe, hands-free navigation.
Style Meets Practicality
Aesthetically, the new Chevrolet Bolt looks similar to its predecessor and is an EUV version with some updates. A choice of seven paint options, 17-inch wheels, and the sporty RS trim with high-gloss black accents give the small hatchback a contemporary, dynamic appearance. Inside, the driver-first cabin focuses on practicality, technology, and comfort — as it did in the first Bolt that became an industry fave.
Affordable EV Innovation at Its Best
The return of the Chevrolet Bolt isn’t just a nod to nostalgia — it’s an attempt to strike back in one of the most competitive markets around. With the expiration of federal EV tax credits, affordability will be even more important to bring in new buyers. Analysts say that a well-priced electric vehicle like the Bolt could expand the market, establishing a sense of what affordable battery-electric driving can look like.
In a nutshell, the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt EV offers efficiency, cutting-edge technology, and a practical range at prices few EVs can match. But supply is limited and demand is high, so this recovery won’t last forever. So, for anyone considering an electric vehicle, the Bolt is the perfect entry model – with a heritage that traces back to our past and innovation that can take us into the future.
